ARB front bumper turn signals not working
Hey guys I finally got the chance to install my ARB front bumper this past weekend on the jeep and I must say it looks bad ass. The install did take longer then planned but when it came time to wire up the turn signals I hit a snag.
I followed the instructions (or lack of) provided in the install Manuel and also a few threads on this form which helped me to figure out which of the three flasher wires was responsible for the actual flashing.
Using the scotch locks provided I connected the yellow/black wore from the arb wire assembly to the outer most wire from the black wire in the stock turn signal (right hand side of the vehicle). Then from the arb turn signal to the arb wire assembly, black to black and solid yellow to the red.
Before wiring up the left hand side I connected my ground wire to an existing ground stud in the jeeps engine compartment an then my red to the battery. When I hit the turn signal nothing happened! I went over my connections making sure the scotch locks had made a proper connection and tried again and again was disappointed with no flash.
What did I do wrong????
I'll post some pics up as soon as I get a chance.
Thanks in advance for any help

The only thing done differently from the instructions was using the yellow wires from the kit on the right hand side and green wires on the left hand side which is vise versa the instructions. the reason for this is because the instructions are made for a right hand drive vehicle and not left hand drive vehicles. for the this reason you have to pass the wires as i did to enable them to reach the turn signals
